Kane


Anyone who knows me know how obsessed and in love with our dogs we are. We are incredibly devastated to say that are first born pup Kane passed away on Saturday. He started looking sick early last week and we took him to the vet Wednesday: They did blood work, Thursday: they did x-rays and a ultrasound and called me with the news that he had cancer in his kidney and it had spread to his lung. I was instructed to manage his pain with medication and make him comfortable. I was to give him a pill every 8-12 hours but his pain was so bad he needed a pill every 4 hours or else he was wailing in pain. It was so painful to watch our little angel in so much pain we did all we could do for those 3 days and cried by his side constantly. Friday we ended up at the emergency vet for a shot of pain medication so he could rest easy. Our ultimate goal was to get him to a Oncology appointment on Monday to get the full details and our course of action. On Saturday he had a okay morning and we were able to manage his pain for most of the day until he started wailing in pain and was passing out from the pain. We rushed him to the vet and had to make the difficult decision to let him be free of pain and let him go. Our baby was 5 years and 2 months old. We miss him every second and are trying to cope with the pain of our loss. He was such a wonderful dog and so very smart and understanding. He was our watchdog and our teddybear at night. We shared a pillow for 5 years and its hard to be without him.
